The Dawn Chorus
The Dawn Chorus is a choreography of smoke, doom and birds - made for the dance company Norrdans.
We are many species that face an uncertain future. Although parts of humanity often think they are in the center stage, the real drama takes place behind the scenes: among gnat and vermin, rustling and sounds, and in the tactile relations of dance.
The Dawn Chorus, is based on birds that die, but also on the bird as a metaphor for a possible new future. In The Dawn Chorus, we dream of mile-long lullabies, polyamorous mating dances and a darkness to sing together in.
